no but i probably should have. I don't care for second guessed quality, and will be returning all 3 tanks. Integrity is utmost important for me, air cooled and for my 6yr old son, I cannot chance the integrity of the tank not one little bit.

RIP Trace.. Godspeed.
I work in a blow molding plant. If these tanks were blow molded, which I'm sure the OEM tanks were, they would look perfect. I know how the rotomold process works but have no experience with it. I do know that you can have really inferior poly and I think that is the problem here. Poly has gotten expensive and I think they're probably trying to save some money. Don't ask if my company could make the tanks. We make parts for other companies which then sell the parts. I know we could make a perfect product but the cost would be very high. Our molds cost in the 25-30K range and the cutomer pays for them.

Add another one time unhappy buyer to Clarke. My 350x tank took godzilla strength to get on and rear holes are nowhere close to stock mount?? Had to re drill and redrill shrouds as well. Sad for 180.00 dollars ...very sad...last time for me. In order for the rear mounts to thread in....the rubber mounts sat all the way at the front edge of the tank?????? Ready to just pop out. Have to fab a plate for the other side it is so far off, had to use freakin' heavy zip ties on it for now. Dissapointment for sure..![]()
